A Letter to my daughter on her 1st birthday



Dear Tejal,

          Happiest first birthday little love. I can’t keep calm because it’s your dayyyyyyyy 🥳 . I wonder how fast these 12 months flew by. When I close my eyes, I find myself waiting in the OT for you to come out into this strange but beautiful world. It feels like yesterday. I don’t know how fast a year has passed since I took care of you, prepared meals for you, fed you, gave you massages, bathed you, nursed you, sang lullabies for you, laughed with you, listened to your giggles, and loved you. 

          When you turned 6 months old, I started making food for you and feeding you. I never thought it would have been so exciting and satisfying. Now I have realised that a bathed, dressed, and fed child gives the best feeling to every mother.

          I remember the moments when you reached your milestones. Be it rolling over, sitting without support, grabbing a thing for the first time, falling from the bed, taking your first step, teething phase, crawling, etc. I also clicked on the monthly pictures of yours. These are very special, and after turning 6 months old, clicking your picture has become a big task for us. You move things and yourself so much (still the same). LOL 😆 Your father helps me out. Talking about your father, he immensely adores you, girl. He was telling me once that he often gets emotional at the thought of your marriage. He may spend less time with you, but he stays updated on everything of yours. Whenever he gets the chance, he bathes you, feeds you, plays with you, and teaches you the activities. For every daughter, a father is not less than a superhero, and your father indeed is a superhero. For me too. 😊   

 कभी-कभी हमारे दिल में ख़याल आता है, 
        कि जैसे तुझको बनाया गया है हमारे लिये,
  तू अब से पहले सितारों में बस रही थी कहीं ,                                                                   
        तुझे ज़मीं पे उतारा गया है हमारे लिये।        

         They say firsts are always memorable. I will never forget your first experience at a wedding when you, your father, and I went to Delhi. You were 8 months old. You became cranky, and then I became rude and panicked because I thought, as a mother, I couldn’t manage you and your stuff too. Your father was a support system for me, but, oh God, that was not a good experience. 

           The cutest activity of yours is clapping and showing your teeth. You have 6 teeth already. You put a smile on everyone’s face who comes into contact with you whether it’s in your Nani house or a Daadi house. 

           It has truly been an honour to watch you grow and learn over the last year. But I must admit that you taught me more. I have learned patience, strength, and selflessness. Most importantly, you have taught me the true meaning of pure and unconditional love and care. The bond we already have is indescribable and something that I will never take for granted. You are a living piece of us, but you and I had 9 extra months together that no one else had. You are the only person who knows the sound of my heart from inside. You encourage me to wake up every single day and be the best version of myself, so for that, I THANK YOU.

        No amount of pictures and videos can capture what it feels to have you in my life. You have changed the way I feel and see the world. 

          We wish that may you lead a happy life, whether it’s in a job, a friend, family, a spouse , a hobby or whatever. We wish you a healthy life so you can get a wealthy life. Don’t forget, “Health is Wealth”.  May you be the light wherever you go (as your name says). We Love you too our sweetheart. 😊


All our Love,

Maa-Papa ❤️

Birthday Blog

I can’t keep calm because it’s my birthday, However, various things are left to be learned in the wiser way.  I am a girl of December, May God bless me and fill my tumbler. Because birthdays are for celebrating the blessings you get, ..from the experiences, life lessons and people you met.  My mother says, do not blow out the candle and cut the cake, ..light a lamp ( दीपक   ) instead to maintain the positivity you make. I grew up as I became a mother, But sometimes, I behave like a clutter. Now I am in my thirties, Hence, I started focusing only on my priorities. I am not seeking an expensive gift, ..but I am trying to achieve the confidence which makes me lift. I have been looking for my best version, Is there any shortcut for this conversion? I do Judge myself to see if I am a better person than I was yesterday, Trying to obtain the tenacity to make personal improvements day by day.   Happy Birthday to ME 😄

Better than words

  LOVE - A strong and deep affection for someone.           The fact is that feeling is constant and remains the same. The only difference which you might feel is the way to express the Love. In early years of a relationship, partners express their love through words. They say their feeling as clear as water in the sea. But the more years of your relationship or marriage go down, the less words of love come out. Fortunately, exceptions are always there.           Thus, never judge your partner. It happens because life runs along with the changes and we run with the life along with the acceptance those changes. Priorities change. Persons change.           Well, they say," pata hi nahi chala "tumhare sath itni jaldi itne saal nikal gaye". But I feel different. " mujhe to lagta hai ki na jaane kitne saalo se hum sath hain".             It was 2016, when I met ...

A Letter to my daughter on her 3rd Birthday

Dear Tejal,                   Happy Birthday my girl. "We "are 3 !!! yaeeeeee 😄                   As time passes and you continue to grow, so do we and the love in us.                   Undoubtedly, the last three years were full of joy and your firsts.  Now we are all waiting for the time when your sweet words will reach our ears. You met your milestones later than the other babies. People say that consult the Doctor but I know that every child is different and special. You are active and that's a reason enough not to worry. You are only able to call the names of relationships, some simple words and the most interesting word is "Pa" which means Park and the swing ..😂 Your actions to make us understand your words are unbeatable. You are super cute my little Radha.                     You must ...
